Australia - Six states..and that funny little island.

Nope not so much luke. I once set what what I thought was runner eggs. They started to hatch in the bator on day 20 with the turner still going. Turned out they werent runner eggs but chicken eggs. Still not sure how that happened but they all hatched fine.

So you didn't notice the whole 3 weeks.
 
I think I am going to split the difference this time and put them into shutdown this evening.
I am trying a few things different this time any way. To get ready for my precious Yoko eggs.
I have got the eggs lying on their sides this time, all al-natural.
 
talking about the pecking order, I just got 20 pullets about a month ago, and they have really upset the pecking order with my chooks, getting a few chooks is bad enough but 20! I've had a few chooks really badly hurt and a lot have had some really bad pecks on the head! poor chookys!
 
ACV apple cider vinegar.
Although it is acidic it raises the Alkaline in the body and makes it an undesirable place for bacteria to grow. I buy a 25 litre drum of organic unpasteurised vinegar for $40 . My horses get regularly . I haven't had a single case of pasty butt in my brooder since I started adding it to their water.
That being said keep the chlorsig going and start a course of poultry antibiotics, whilst there are many ' preventative ' natural products on the market once the infection has set in you are fighting an up hill battle. Knock it on the head! The infection not the chook.

is pasty butt where they get a pooey butt? also do you reckon probiotics would do the same thing as ACV? I put probiotics in their water every so often, so they are just that little but healthier

If your already giving probiotic s they probably won't need acv. I only give the acv when I see symptoms of pasty butt. The probiotic should have the bacteria in the gut running like clock work.
 
Just thought you'd all like to know that my Max's eye looks a whole heap better tonight.... I have cleaned with salt water and put Chlorsig drops in 3 times through today and it looks to be responding well.... Max ate all his scrambled egg today and a nice warm bowl of porridge for dinner tonight, so obviously feeling a little better in himself too. Thank you to all those who offered advice.... He is on the mend!

THANK YOU :thumbsup
